If I'm more then 3 months without getting online on the forum... than I'm probably dead! Adding my whatsapp number 55 14 997496677 is a nice way of getting in touch with me. If I don't answer you... I'm dead.
My final words for Shenmue III credits are: "Fuck you SEGA, thanks for the license given to Yu Suzuki anyway"

Is this a subtle way of asking people to check out your dick pics?

Not to sound morbid, but I very much second this. It's so strange... I've started looking twice before I cross the street and stuff like that. I know it's not exactly a healthy frame of mind, but it would just be my luck to finally make it this far and give so much of my life to Shenmue for something bad to happen right before release. I'm going to hell anyways which is bad enough, but if I get down there before Shenmue 3 then they will have to redefine the concept because I will fucking wreck the place.

It's not morbid, Peter. I developed bad eye floaters 7 months ago from a drug I took (for fitness purposes). I now see my floaters in all lighting conditions and sadly, even when playing games! Sucks to know I won't be able to truly relax and fully appreciate the surroundings in S3 because I'll be too busy avoiding the bright colours like the sky to avoid directly seeing my floaters so prominently. Severe eye floaters are a debilitating condition... anyway, I don't want to bring this place down so I won't mention them again unless asked, but rest assured you are sensible to look twice before crossing! Live healthy and enjoy S3 when it arrives! :-)

I love the Mass Effect series, the themes of BioShock and the theatre that is Metal Gear but the love and interest I have for those games is nothing compared to what I have for Shenmue and that is saying something.
Words simply can't describe my love for that game and it's characters. Funny enough, I can tell you why it's a great game but I can't say what makes me so engrossed in its story, especially when nothing is really unique about it. You know, Asian boy has his father killed and seeks revenge using martial arts and not a ballistic weapon. Story script wise nothing special up whatever it is, something magical is done with the setting, characters and the tone to make this a truly unique and special game.
I remember hearing the news about Shenmue 3. I was not in a good place mentally. Stressed from work, struggling with my relationship and buying a property. I remember reading the news on the train and my whole day just turned for the better and I am definitely being extra careful when crossing the road or driving to make sure I'm alive for the day.

I'd rather wait another 15 years for Shenmue IV than be dead. Not much of a hardship compared to not being alive.

You hit the nail on the head, dude. I don't think anyone has ever been able to truly comprehend, explain, and/or commit to paper (figuratively speaking) exactly what it is that makes Shenmue so special, but 'magical' is a word that crops up an awful lot, and that really is one of the best (if not only) ways to describe it. When you strip Shenmue down to its bare bones and binary, what do you have? Four locations, lots of examples of interaction, a large amount of NPCs, free battles, QTEs, a pretty unremarkable plot, etc.. But something - something - flows in-between all of these things; the thing that makes describing what makes this game so special such a hard task, which is why 'magical' is perhaps the best description. The sense of realism, homeliness, comfort, and underlying tone certainly help, but the 'thing' always appears to transcend a definitive description.
